The Castle

The tiered-walled[3] castle has groves and fountains, shady courtyards, and marble colonnades. It is filled with singers, pipers, fiddlers and harpers. The stables have a fine selection of horseflesh, and there are pleasure boats to sail along the Mander.[4] Between the outer and middle walls is a famous briar labyrinth. The oldest towers are square and date from the Age of Heroes, while newer towers are taller and round.[5]

There are fields of golden roses that stretch as far as the eye can see. Fruits grown nearby include melons, peaches, and fireplums.[6]

A Storm of Swords

After having caused famine in King's Landing by closing the roseroad while supporting Renly,[15] the Tyrells send carts of food from Higharden to the royal capital and are thus beloved by the Kingslanders.[16] Many of the Tyrells travel to King's Landing, but Willas Tyrell, the heir of Lord Mace, remains at Highgarden.[4]
